Help[Opinions] Re: American Names
in reply to a message by Rose-Berry
O this was interesting to see. Quite informative. That's what I was trying to get at with the biblical names thing, but it was hard for me to pinpoint exact names since I live in America and am really not sure of their popularity in other places.
My grandfather went by Hank as a nickname.
Lori makes sense because in my dialect, Laurie is more like LAR-ee. And when I see Lara, I don't know whether they want it pronounced LAA-ra or LAR-a. Either is acceptable here.
Kristen is interesting. That's my sister's name. I never knew it wasn't used in other countries.
Who the heck names their child Brittani with an i? That's not typical at all. The y ending though is very typical. I hate it. I always hope in spelling names that people would have sense enough to use their non-y original spellings, but I'm usually wrong. Caitlyn and Madelyn have been the norm for quite some time to the point where some people may find Caitlin and Madeleine a bit pretentious.
Travis here is stereotypically Southern. Few Northerners use it, though it is still used in the South. Brian and Eric here are fairly timeless names. I've seen them used on all ages.
